The Javelin was AMC’s rival to the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Barracuda, and these cars didn’t just compete for sales. In 1970, AMC decided to capitalize on Mark Donohue’s star power with a special edition Javelin. Based on the Javelin SST, the car featured a rear spoiler designed by Donohue for use on the race cars. Under the Ram Air hood sits a 390-cubic-inch V-8, couple to a 4-speed manual transmission. When new, it made either 325 or 340 hp. A 245-hp 360-cubic-inch V-8 and 3-speed automatic were also available.
